You are an AWS architect in an IT startup company. Last month you configured an AWS Organization. Although the default feature set of AWS Organization is “All Features”, you only enabled the “Consolidated Billing” feature at that time. Later on, you found it was necessary to use service control policies (SCPs) to provide a central control to enable “All Features” for the Organization. Recently, the company is short on budget and has to make a cost reduction. Your manager asked you whether you can modify “All Features” to “Consolidated Billing” to save some cost. How would you answer this question?

Answer options:

A.All attached SCPs need to be detached first in the Organization before All Features is changed to Consolidated Billing. This can also save some cost as Consolidated Billing is a free feature.
B.All Features can be switched to Consolidated Billing as long as the user has proper IAM permission. However, it will not save any cost as Consolidated Billing and All Features charge the same.
C.Users can switch between All Features and Consolidated Billing anytime. However, this will not save any cost since AWS Organization is offered without charge as long as there are more than 5 OUs in the Organization.
D.All Features cannot be switched back to Consolidated Billing. Besides, AWS Organization is a free service, so it is not required to modify it.

Option A.Option C is incorrect: AWS Organization is a free service regardless of how many OUs in the Organization.
Option D is CORRECT: After All Features is enabled, it cannot be changed back. Besides, since it is a free service, you have to consider other AWS services to save some costs.
